P1639-TCM INTERNAL-CAN 2 RAM PERFORMANCE






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to: Electrical Diagrams

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) performs various internal tests to verify proper controller operation. This DTC indicates that there is an internal error with the controllers Random Access Memory (RAM) on the CAN controller 2 section of the microprocessor. If detected, the controller will enter Limp-in mode and illuminate the MIL.

When Monitored
Continuously with the ignition on.

Set Condition
If the TCM detects an internal error with the controllers Random Access Memory (RAM) on the CAN controller 2 section of the microprocessor.

Possible Causes
- TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.
